The playful piece of furniture collects rainwater for the plants incorporated into its seating surface. The Waterbench provides a permanent water supply, always guarantees a dry seat (even in rainy weather), and hardly needs any maintenance which ensures a permanent green touch in the city.
Rainwater is used in public spaces to create self-sufficient greenery that adds some color to the city’s landscape while also helping to maintain temperatures depending on how large these public spaces are. Starting at 15/month (billed annually) for all classes and sessions. The design combines a bench, a rainwater barrel, and a planter into one to restore some greenery into the urban landscape. Jay-Z (C) and Alicia Keys (R) performs during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on Septemin New York City. To solve this problem, Barbara Standaert made the Waterbench – it is exactly what you think. This makes it harder for them to maintain natural public spaces and green starts turning to gray. Co-written, arranged, and produced by the 19-year-old, the album is a promising start for a talented young newcomer, mixing her obvious influences with her classical training and simple yet distinct approach. Having concrete structures everywhere is not appealing to the eye but at the same time makes it harder for cities to use rainwater because they don’t have surfaces to absorb it. If there is, Alicia Keys is vying for the spot with Songs in A Minor, her much-ballyhooed debut on Clive Davis’s J Records.
Concrete jungle is not just something Alicia Keys sang once, cities are becoming more paved with every passing day leaving scarce patches of greenery.
